[rubikscomplex]

greetings, snowhellions
dr. house coming to you live from the belly of the beast
or at least the upper digestive tract
take a looksee at the latest map i'm sending out with this message

[There is, indeed, a map.]

@betterhalf and i have been filling it out
red means BAD
the entire area outside is red
didn't bother to fill that in
buildings i've found so far are yellow and green for the most part
food and water are red, though
mickey mouse found some place with rations
#276
bring your own food, anyway
not sure if it restocks, yet

i'm on the trail of some rando russian chick fangs found an sd card for

[House sends out the clip.]

translation:
"i don't think anyone else is here anymore
i haven't heard from anyone on this thing for weeks
i think they're all dead"

she's been leaving her mark on some of the buildings down here

[There's a shot of a door that has the following written on it: "жёлтый."]

translation:
"yellow"

it's yellow on the geiger app

found another sd card in there

[Another audio clip is sent through.]

translation:
"two weeks and he's not back
two weeks
he's not coming back
dammit
it was his idea to keep records, and now
this place is nothing more than a tomb"

Right, 'cause everywhere else's been a cakewalk.

We're still in the northern part of the tunnels. Found a chest, working on getting it unlocked now.

[rubikscomplex]

there are degrees of horror and horrible, kid
i'm sure you know that by now

[Seriously, Jim.]

pics of the chest?
which building?

[rattlingthestars]

Knock on wood, but I don't know how Norfinbury's going to top tower filled with human skin.

It's building 282 on your map.

[rubikscomplex]

high school filled with dead kids?

exciting
lemme know what you find inside
maybe it'll be a treasure map

[rattlingthestars]

[ There's a few hours between House's reply and Jim's. ]

Dead kid in a box. And an SD card after we buried him. Looks like he was hiding out from the cult guys and got stuck in here.

[House checks the public record and swears under his breath when he sees it. He also swears under his breath because it's hard to type right now. House just orders the tablet to voice-to-text, which may be obvious from the change in typing style.]

Fun times
Pro-tip while you and the Scooby gang are down here if you find manacles don't mention the prophet around them
Otherwise if you find any prophet symbols contact me
I'll let you borrow my eye application

[rattlingthestars]

Yeah, sure.

Did you manage to tick off the ghosts?

[rubikscomplex]

No
I'm clearly just making conversation

[rattlingthestars]

What happened when you ticked off the ghosts?

[rubikscomplex]

They whipped me and not the really fun kind of whipping you'll learn about when you're older

[rattlingthestars]

Holy shit.

[rubikscomplex]

So manacles plus prophet plus Andromeda is a no go bad times
Just keep that in mind kid

[rattlingthestars]

Noted.

Look, not that I care or anything, but are you alone? Is anyone on their way?

[rubikscomplex]

[He could be an asshole and give Jim a non-answer, but he suspects that's just going to lead to the kid asking more. And that will require more talking unless House just hangs up on him. Pain and the extra dose of Vicodin rule the day.]

I'm alone
Dave Sprite is on his way with car cat and the cat
X and the angel to

[rattlingthestars]

[ House's a doctor. Jim knows he probably doesn't need to tell him how easy it is to die from that, though the impulse is there. ]

Right.

[ Another pause. ]


Good luck.

[rubikscomplex]

You too later

[He disconnects.]
